Celestion began the celebration of its centennial anniversary year at the 2024 Winter NAMM Show by being honoured with the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Milestone Award for 100 years of service in the music products industry.
Presented by NAMM, the Milestone Award recognises music product businesses that have flourished through changing business environments to reach a noteworthy anniversary.
Celestion is extremely grateful and humbled to be recognised by NAMM with the Milestone Award,” commented Nigel Wood, Managing Director at Celestion. “As a company, we started making loudspeakers 100 years ago, and all this time later, we’re making loudspeakers. A lot of companies are 100 years old, but Celestion is unique. The company has stayed true to its core identity.”
Celestion has made countless breakthroughs in loudspeaker technology and is synonymous with innovating the modern guitar amp speaker. Throughout the years, the company has set benchmarks in hi-fi, instrument amplification speakers, and sound reinforcement.
Over the past 100 years there have been many changes at Celestion – ownership and leadership have transitioned, and markets have shifted. Yet the company’s essence remains the same as it was when the founders pioneered one of the world’s initial cone loudspeakers.
The NAMM Milestone Awards are presented annually to industry leaders celebrating notable anniversaries during the annual winter NAMM Show.
